Nalagarh or Nawalgarh is a city in the Solan district of Himachal Pradesh. It was known as the state of Hindur in the bygone era. Nalagarh is the entryway to Himachal Pradesh in North India. It is located about 300 km from Delhi and about 60 km from Chandigarh.
In the early twentieth century, Nawalgarh was one of the Simla hill states, under the Punjab government. Grains and opium were in the past, the main agricultural products. Nalagarh is a semi-hilly area.
The Garh rises over a 20-acre forest estate and an orchard and is uniquely built on five levels. This town is close to Pinjore in Haryana, and to Ropar in Punjab. The languages spoken here are mainly Punjabi, Pahari and Hindi.
The major attraction of Nalagarh is the Nalagarh Fort. The Fort is located on a hill at the foothills of the Himalayas offering a view of the Shivalik Hills lying past the Sirsa River. The fort and the palace of Nalagarh are built in the Mughal style of architecture.
The fort and the palace have been fully renovated and are now home to a great heritage resort. Fort Nalagarh is surrounded by acres of greenery; full of modern amenities and is a perfect retreat away from the bustle of city life.
